Igor Vladimirovich Gorodokin

Today I want to tell you a story about the creation of one of my portraits. He is special. Not just because it depicts a person who is close to me but also because he is the embodiment of my admiration and gratitude.

Igor Vladimirovich Gorodokin. Remember this name. He is a gastroenterologist whom our family met many years ago at Elena Malysheva's clinic. Since then, he has become our family doctor, friend, and wise adviser. Igor Vladimirovich went to live in America, where he continued his medical practice. But despite the distance, his heart always remains with us in Russia. He comes, consults, and helps us stay healthy.

Our recent meetings in Moscow inspired the portrait I want to describe to you today. Igor Vladimirovich looked extraordinarily elegant and wore a beautiful suit and a chic tie - his image was perfect. I couldn't help but capture this moment, and I just felt like I had to portray it that way.

At first, I made several sketches, trying to convey the main features. Then she transferred the image to the canvas and gradually filled it with paint.

I chose bright shades of red, from bright scarlet to maroon, to emphasize the energy and impression it made on me. But the green color was important: it is my favorite color. It symbolizes my closeness, care, and respect for this person. Igor Vladimirovich's suit was not green, but in my imagination, it merges with this color - the color of trust and calmness.

The creation of this portrait was a very important and significant process for me. And I am glad that I managed to transfer my impressions and emotions associated with this wonderful person to the canvas.
